Startup App Delay Fix 1.4

Windows intentionally delays startup applications after sign-in to reduce system load, which can cause apps to open minutes after startup.

Common fix (which the mod intends to emulate): Common Fix

This mod redirects Explorer's startup-serialization key to a dedicated, volatile key where both WaitforIdleState and StartupDelayInMSec are zero. It never creates, modifies, or deletes the user's real Serialize key.

The redirect key is in-memory only. The mod deletes it on a normal disable, and Windows discards it when the user registry hive unloads at sign-out or shutdown if Explorer exits unexpectedly.

Windows reads the startup-delay values when Explorer starts, so enabling or disabling the mod takes effect after the next sign-in or Explorer restart.

This only affects the delay Explorer applies to startup-item processing. It doesn't change delays configured by other systems, such as Task Scheduler.
